The Final Pill Pattern! Slaying-Edge Gold Pattern!
"General Lu, I've located it and will try to pull it out."
"I'll need your help then."
The words were finished.
Several thick water ropes materialized in Yang Xiao's hands, one end wrapping around his arms, the other end drilling into the cracked ground and extending downwards.
His feet sank into the ground, and he began to move backward.
Lu Changgeng stood at the edge of the collapse, having just given up the idea of continuing to break up the rock layers, when he turned around and saw the young man's feet sinking into the ground, with several water ropes running straight into the rubble, the ropes taut like a string.
You mean you're going to use the power of the Pill-Pattern Realm to pull out a Core Illumination Realm Demon King?
He had seen many Pill-Pattern Realm, but none of them dared to do this.
Lu Changgeng remained silent for a moment, also abandoning the idea of making a move, wanting to see how far this young man could go.
"Okay, you can come here."
The Hundred-Footed Golden Centipede King, deep in the earth's crust, was struggling against the gun barrel when suddenly a tremendous pulling force came from its waist and abdomen, not only moving its body but also causing the gun barrel, which it had been unable to break free from, to move.
"Okay!"
"Looks like I can still break free."
The Hundred-Footed Golden Centipede King's face lit up with joy, and even the burning pain inside his body lessened considerably.
It was about to continue struggling to break free when it discovered that even without exerting any force, its body was slowly moving upwards.
"?"
Even though it was a bit slow to react, it sensed something was wrong.
He quickly looked at the spot where the pulling sensation was coming from, and instantly flew into a rage.
"It's you again, you brat!?"
It was this insidious water rope that caused his body to be severed by Lu Changgeng. Even after escaping underground, how did the other party find him?
With a grit of its teeth, the remaining segments of its legs detached from its body, transforming into dark gold spears that thrust upwards.
The golden spear burst forth from the ground in an instant, heading straight for Yang Xiao's face!
Yang Xiao!
Lu Changgeng's expression tightened, Gold Pattern condensed on the sword's edge, knocking the spear down from mid-air.
"Go ahead and pull, I'll cover you."
He moved around Yang Xiao's side, blocking all the attacks until half of the Hundred-Footed Golden Centipede King's body was dragged off the ground.
The carapace scraped against the rock wall, producing a long, piercing sound.
As soon as the first half emerged from the ground, a stench hit us.
The Hundred-Footed Golden Centipede King raised itself, wanting to continue its attack, but found that it had no means left to use in combat.
"Lu Changgeng! You..."
Before it could finish speaking, Lu Changgeng moved.
Gold Pattern spread out from the sword again, condensing into a giant sword several meters long, which slashed straight down towards the opponent's neck!
"Laugh!"
The tattered carapace was cleaved open, and the Demon King's head was severed from his torso.
The severed half of the body braced itself on the ground for a moment before losing all strength and crashing heavily back to the ground.
Lu Changgeng sheathed his sword and landed on the ground, finally feeling relieved.
He then looked at Yang Xiao with surprise. He had thought Yang Xiao was just trying, but he didn't expect that the other party would actually pull out the Hundred-Footed Golden Centipede King.
How could such force appear on the opponent? Could it be that while the opponent was rapidly breaking through in realm, they were also cultivating Body-Tempering Method?
He might have to retract his assessment of Yang Xiao as a prodigy; now he seems to be nothing short of a monster!
In such a barren place as Qingzhou, how did they manage to hone such skills...?
Yang Xiao walked to the demon corpse, grasped the butt of the Army-Breaking Spear and pulled it out. After shaking off the dark red bloodstains on the spear, he gently put it away.
When I first received the Army-Breaking Spear from Pei Xuance, I only thought it was very powerful, but now I find it increasingly easy to handle.
Lu Changgeng stood before the severed demon body, extended his longsword, and with a couple of swift strokes along the waist and abdomen, a dark golden Demon Core rolled out.
The moment the dark Demon Core landed, it seemed to emit a soft metallic clang.
Lu Changgeng didn't pay attention; he held the Demon Core in his palm and weighed it in his hand.
Then he saw Yang Xiao's gaze fixed on the Demon Core in his hand, his eyes revealing his thoughts without any attempt to hide them.
Lu Changgeng didn't mind, and suddenly chuckled, casually tossing over the dark Demon Core.
"You did a great job, don't mention it."
"Qingzhou may need to rely on you in the future."
Yang Xiao raised his hand and caught it.
He didn't mince words, but his tone became more solemn. "Thank you, General Lu."
Lu Changgeng nodded slightly, a smile on his face, and the more he looked at Yang Xiao, the more satisfied he became.
There was only one thing he couldn't understand: how exactly did Pei Xuance raise such a prodigy?
He looked up at the sky.
"It's getting late, and I have other places to go."
Lu Changgeng paused, then stopped again before leaving to offer a couple more reminders.
"The Canglan River has been turbulent lately. The water Demon Race are constantly sneaking ashore, probing along the riverbank for thousands of miles. Pei Xuance is tied down there and can't get away."
I don't know where you're going, but perhaps you're needed there more.
Yang Xiao nodded in agreement and watched the other person leave.
He did not set off immediately.
Things that have been hard to come by should be used while they're still fresh, and this secluded valley is just right.
He wandered around the valley and found an abandoned stone house that had not yet collapsed, where he sat down cross-legged.
The dark Demon Core of the Hundred-Footed Golden Centipede King was taken out.
This Demon Core much heavier than the ones obtained before; holding it in my palm felt like pressing down on a piece of iron.
A large sword pattern runs along the surface, constantly radiating fine, sharp edges. If you rub your fingertip against it, you can feel a subtle stinging sensation.
Unexpectedly, his fifth Pill Pattern was actually a demon Demon Core at the Core Illumination Realm.
Yang Xiao did not hesitate and directly put the Demon Core into the fifth Equipment Slot.
"Equipment."
The moment the Demon Core fell into the slot, a burst of dark golden light erupted.
A dark valley unfolded in Yang Xiao's mind.
The Hundred-Footed Golden Centipede King, with its hundreds of segments, crouched inside the mountain, raising its hundreds of segments at the same time, transforming into countless Golden Blades.
It continuously devoured ores, ironware, and weapons, its body gradually becoming sharper, eventually condensing a cold, hard, silvery-white Pill Pattern within its Demon Core.
The moment the Pill Pattern appeared, they transformed into countless tiny Golden Blade that swirled around.
This force is neither as entangled as Water Pattern nor as intense as Fire Pattern; it has only one characteristic: it is sharp and unyielding.
Equipment Slot appeared, and the black gold furnace door slowly opened, with crimson flames rolling inside.
The treasure furnace released a dragging force, pulling the entire Golden Blade along with the phantom of the Hundred-Footed Golden Centipede King into the furnace chamber.
The Demon King's phantom struggled frantically, its golden limbs constantly slashing at the furnace wall, causing the furnace to tremble violently, yet without the slightest damage.
The Pill-Pattern Power transformed into countless Golden Blades that struck the furnace wall, creating a dense, resounding clang.
The dormant furnace fire suddenly surged, gradually refining the illusory image of the Demon King.
The enormous Demon Core shrank continuously within the flames, condensing from its overwhelming sharpness into a single point of cold light.
The furnace door is closed.
A golden light flew out from the crack in the furnace and landed inside Yang Xiao's body.
[Successfully acquired the Pill Pattern: Slaying-Edge Gold Pattern.]
[Effect: Condenses Metal Essence into the weapon, enhancing its penetration and lethality.]
Yang Xiao looked at the Army-Breaking Spear, and a sudden surge of emotion welled up in his heart.
Raise your hand and grasp it.
The spear hummed softly, and the five Pill Pattern began to circulate. A golden light flashed along the spearhead, seemingly perfectly in sync with the spear. In an instant, it was covered by the Heaven-Burning Fire Pattern, transforming into a dark golden, blazing light.
With the addition of two layers of Pill Pattern, its power far exceeds what can be measured by mere addition.
